Just ordered rear remotes for my L5030 from kubota, so I have been reading some of the excellent writeups people have done regarding the install. I haven't received the parts yet, but from reading I have a couple questions. 1. The block in the kit, that gets attached under the seat, I assume...

back in june we had a hail storm in the neighborhood. Golf ball size and lots of it. 3 of my cars got dented up pretty good, put in an insurance claim but still need to get fixed. I kept getting these unheard of companies that are hail damage experts knocking on the door, insisting my roof...

Bearings went out on an idler pulley on the deck. It's a sealed unit with no grease jerks. It had been making some noise, but I hadn't taken the deck off to check yet. I was mowing after dark, and it threw the belt off. I put it in the barn, then noticed the smoke coming from the deck, so I...

called Barlows and ordered rear cab lights a couple days ago, they arrived today. Installation was easy, hardest part was fishing out the right connector for the switch. Will have to get a pic later. Don't know why I didn't order them with the tractor, but they are easy to install. I've been...

The backhoe came in handy today putting up the new basketball hoop. Course it also came in handy digging the 4' deep foundation hole a couple months ago. The shot was all net!! Ended up using 21 bags of 80# concrete mix for the foundation.

Happy New Year everyone!

my area has new aerial photos. Best I can tell, mine was taken the week or two before labor day. The new picture is a lot clearer, I can see the stains on the shingles, and the plumbing vents. Wished I had known the were going to take new pictures, I'd have marked my property corners with...

Anyone know where to find some 2" concrete bits? I've searched online and can't find any, except for core drilling machines. I have hammer drill.

Had good help the other day.

Last night my dish network receiver shut off unexpectedly, kept trying to reboot and keeps failing. Tonight it was working, but it turned off in the middle of the football game. It's the Vip722 DVR box, 1 yr warrenty and it is 3 yrs old. Looks like I'm hosed because it's not a rental box...

Making some picnic tables, that will sit in an open sided pavilion. Recommend painting or stain/sealing? Since they will not be out in direct weather, am considering non pressure treated wood.

Since delivery, I've only used it a couple times. First time was to unload some pellets. Used the backhoe for the first time tonight, moved a couple bushes. It's so dry, they might not live, but I needed to get them moved for some work I'm starting on (and I really don't care if these bushes...

It looked tired and thirsty, so I gave it a new home. :laughing: After many months of going back and forth, this is what I finally settled on. The L3130 is now gone, it was a great tractor, but I'll get over it real quick. :thumbsup:

Howdy, the church I attend is considering a used tractor for our new building location, so I thought I'd come to the TBN braintrust for suggestions on a size /model. Obviously I prefer orange. We will be buying used, as we will be building on the lot within a year and don't want to put too...

How many horses for this mower? :D

Years ago I bought a Lincoln AC welder for my dad. Last time he was using it he told me he can't turn the Voltage adjust knob, it's like it's seized up. Anyone have this happen? I figure for repair cost it's probably better to just get a new welder. He uses this a good bit to repair farm...

Just a few oranges on the lot. I drive by here about every day, but had a camera and snapped a few today.

Anyone buy a kubota attachment (not with a tractor) using kubota financing?

I grew up on a 200 acre farm, yet we raised beef cows. No one in the area called their "farm" a ranch. I guess calling things a ranch is more of a western thing. We did raise corn for the cows, and some other farm crops. And are you a "cowboy" if you grew up taking care of cows, yet you...

While driving the tractor thru a field today, the dog cornered a groundhog. She was so proud of her catch.

Instead of continuing to hijack another thread, I'll start my own. I'm getting prices for a 30x48' pour in my pole barn. Got 2 prices, getting a 3rd. One guy said to box around the poles about 18" away, to not pour the concrete against the poles, and then fill this later with grout. This is...

I know no one would ever confess to doing this one. I bought some shop lights many months ago to put in my barn, and never got them up. They've been sitting unopened in the boxes on a shelf in the barn. Three of my basement shop lights stopped working, was down to only one working, so I...

Being a dirt poor farmer growing up, we never did soil samples. How do you test and who normally does it?

Is the bobcat CT440, CT445 and CT450 equivalent to the Kioti DK HST series, since the CK series stops at 35? The loader specs don't seem to match, would have thought the 9TL is the same loader as the KL401.

could someone explain the difference in the kubota valve options.

I want to add a backhoe to my implement collection, which would go on the L3130. Will most likely go with the Woods bh90x. Wasn't sure how this size backhoe would work on this tractor, so now I am considering upsizing the tractor to a newer 40 series with a cab. I'm just a little shocked on...

anyone using any of the kubota lawn tractors? what are your likes and dislikes?

Anyone know if there is a market for used truck scales? My church just bought a lot, complete with some old scales that could probably weight a tractor trailor. Don't know if they work, but they are large. I was thinking they would make a nice bridge but don't know what you would need to move...
